I am the oldest of 4, and though we are spread out (age & geography) we are still close. I always wanted more than 1. DH, while not particularly close to his 2 sibs, agreed with me. We have 2 - DS & DD. they are about 4 1/2 years apart - just the way it happened. I never felt that having 2 was harder than 1. And despite the age and sex difference, they have always been close.
I have a friend whose son was "difficult" (starting with colic as a baby & energetic after). Her DH was an only and didn't understand why she wanted more than one child. So they waited. And then once they were in agreement about trying for a 2nd, had fertility issues. They had their daughter right after their son's 8th birthday. She's what they call "difficult" too but they couldn't be happier
At the end of the day, OP, as you said, it comes down to what you and your DH agree and will make you happy.
Good luck with the decision :
